Some answers to common questions about Elderflower Fields. Lot’s of practical information here, but if you’re new to the festival, then do take some time to read our Beginners Guide to EF too which should help to make planning and arrival a little easier.

Yep. We hate additional fees as much as you, which is why we’ve picked a ticket agent with low fees. Each ticket will incur an additional booking fee and transaction fee which is shown next to the ticket price on the ticket page.

Yes. We have now introduced tickets for car parking. Tickets are free for your first car, but you must pre-purchase from the ticket shop when you buy your festival tickets. If you intend to bring a second car, we ask that you buy a £10 second car ticket. The money we raise through these tickets will be used to balance the carbon impact of our customers travelling to the festival.

Yes. Children aged between 3 and 16 require a child ticket which will allow them access to all the dedicated kids sports and activities. For children under 3, you must purchase an Under 3s ticket. Child tickets should be purchased based on how old the child will be at the festival.

Tickets are delivered instantly upon payment, to the email address entered during the booking process. Please bring your e-tickets with you when you arrive at the festival, preferably on your phone or tablet, and we’ll scan them at the gate and exchange for wristbands. If you don’t see your tickets in your inbox, please check your spam folders.

Travel:

Probably the easiest way to get to the festival is to drive, but if at all possible we would encourage you to consider using public transport or lift sharing. Details of trains, taxis and busses can be found on the travel page here.

Please remember that you need to buy a free car park ticket if you intend to arrive by car and if you are bringing a second car, you must buy a £10 second car ticket.

Travel accounts for up to 80% of the emissions generated by the festival, so we ask that you consider balancing your travel through an organisation such as the Energy Revolution. If you bring a second car to the festival, please make sure you buy a £10 second car ticket.

Yes – there will be disabled parking spaces close to the festival entrance for blue badge holders. If you need to drive your car on site to be able to camp you will be allowed to pitch in the camper van area. Please see the Accessibility page for more information.

Camping & Accommodation:

The main camping field is quite spacious so there is a good chance you will be able to camp with your friends and have plenty of room to spread out, but we recommend arriving early to ensure this as we cannot reserve spaces.

Please do not bring gazebos as they take up too much room. The Wild Camping field is generally the most spacious.

Not ordinarily. The standard camping fields are in a different area to the live in vehicle areas.

If you have purchased a live in vehicle pitch, you are allowed up to one additional tent within your pitch. Both live in vehicle and tent must be contained within your marked pitch (6m x 9m) and you are only allowed one vehicle per pitch.

No. Please do not bring additional gazebos or large awnings. The campsites are spacious, but there is not enough room if everyone also brings gazebos. Please be considerate towards your fellow campers. and only take the room you need for your tent.

Yes, this is allowed but please do not bring any glass and be mindful of how much rubbish you are creating. We have asked all our food providers to make their meals affordable (as well as good quality).

Please also remember that you will have to carry all of your equipment from the car park to the campsites, so we suggest you just bring a few essentials and enjoy the huge range of wonderful food and drink available from our vendors and bars.
